Is YouTube essentially a monopoly? If someone said yes, I’d be in no mood to disagree. Same goes for Twitter.

I don't think either is a monopoly, but I'm game - there are anti-trust laws dating back to the 19th century to allow the government to go after monopolies. If Attorney General Barr wants, he can bring a suit under the Sherman Antitrust Act against both or either -- he hasn't done so, which I think is telling.

I think it all comes down to numbers. For example, how does YouTube’s traffic compare to the next busiest video-posting site?

I did a quick search, but didn’t find much. But let’s say that YouTube had 60% of the video-posting market, and the next busiest site had 10%. That would sound like a monopoly to me. Regulate them.

YouTube could avoid that be breaking itself into two parts. One part could be censored by their lefties. The other part could be the Wild West.

But now let’s say that YouTube had 30% the market, and the next busiest site had 25%. Then no big deal. Leave them alone.
